It’s all good.

I think he got triggered by something someone else said, and then I just happened to walk into his crosshairs (or reticle, so to speak). Which then activated my “Troll Mode”. It happens.

30” of fresh pow in the Wasatch.
Gonna be a good day!!!

Jealous man!

You “jealous” of his “Troll Mode” or the snow?

 

[Old Pete]

None of this applies to military aircraft.

I’m imagining a Piper Cub with Viper kill marking(s).

Would they see a Cub if it didn't have a transponder? Stealth Cub!

with an airborne radar? Yes, the transponder off technique is not particularly effective there

There’s a busy body CAP member somewhere jealous they weren’t included in the intercept training.

I’m sure another one will wander into a presidential TFR soon enough and get to participate

haha reminds me of a friend who not only didn't read the notams, but subsequently entered a fire fighting TFR (within our MOA mind you) and did a visual ID intercept of a firefighting Herk based on a radar pickup. It was amazing.

How’d that debrief go?

Have you listened to the ATC tape for the Intercept of the guy that stole the Q400. Those Eagle guys would have been absolutely screwed if ATC hadn’t been giving them cues to the right needle in that haystack of SEATAC traffic.

hah no I have not, but that is a good point. But I guess I'd start looking at folks not in the conga line or downwind

On at least 2 occasions I’ve seen F-15’s not be able to find a presidential tfr violator when they’re aob 1500’

Well we don't need to insult our AF friends on Eagle mountain. They have very important egos. They get sad.

There was an old guy Too Gun instructor who talked about fighting the first Eagles in an A4 over on Airwarriors.com… Those dudes would get sucked into the scope routinely and just get nailed by these guys that new the ways to hide in the grass so to speak between clutter/Doppler/traffic/etc.

AMG is right looking for the track doing “one of these things is not the other” is probably the best approach. Or adopt the other Eagle model of anything not matching IFF I say it should gets a missile.
